IPhone 3G doesn't appear in iTunes 10.6.3

After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 a few weeks ago, I was unable to see my iPhone 3G in iTunes.  I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, which fixed the problem, and I've synced once or twice since then.  Today the device once again doesn't show up in iTunes.  The cable works, since iPhoto (7.1.5) recognizes the device and downloads photos just fine.  iTunes may not be totally to blame, since it can recognize my old iPod (1.1.2). The phone is on iOS 4.2.1.  Restarting the phone and the computer made no difference.  Any ideas for fixes?

Apple's support is worthless - it tells you what programs are needed on your computer and how to find if they are running, but fails to tell you how to install what might be missing. My iPhone would synch fine until I updated to iTunes 7, but now my computer thinks my phone is a camera and doesn't appear on iTunes. None of the support pages provide any help. It appears that Apple has adopted the Microsoft model for customer disservice! Any third party assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    can someone help me out?

    No dice. See my comment above; I already turned that on before posting.
    To get your device to appear in iTunes and to automatically sync with iTunes, simply disable backup to iCloud on your iOS device. Voila! Your iOS device will appear in iTunes and auto-sync the selected content. For example, I'm now subscribing to a ton of podcasts that I used to manually download one-by-one b/c the tethered syncing process was just too painful. Now that my iPhone 4S appears as an always-connected device in iTunes, the latest versions of my podcasts shall auotmatically appear on the iPhone when I awake in the morning before my long commute to work.

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

    That damage happen, before i upgrade my iphone.. After back up proses, the iphone can't appears in my itunes...
    please help meee...

    Sounds like your iPhone is locked to your home carrier.
    See if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Otherwise,
    there is nothing you can do besides rent/but a cheap

  • IPhone doesn't appear in iTunes - tried everything

    Hi there,
    ok, my 3G iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes!!! I have tried reinstalling iTunes, removing the AppleMobileDevice extension, numerous restarts, hard reset the phone a couple of times. I deleted a podcast I tried to download over the air, deauthorised and authorised my iMac. Nothing!
    Any other ideas. My phone does appear in iPhoto when opened. I am really lost now. I did change my AppleID recently, is that it?
    Please help. I am going to try another Mac this lunch time, see if that helps. Perhaps its the phone?
    Thanks!!

    Yahooo! Its fixed. At the direction of an iPhone Developer (thanks to Steve Troughton-Smith!) I installed (or possibly reinstalled) iPhoneSystemComponents.pkg and now I can sync and so on!

    Pages 5 now uses the system-level auto-correction in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. Unfortunately, a lot of the options available in previous versions of Pages no longer exist.
    Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu. Also leave feedback for Mavericks.

    Well, you do not indicate what computer OS you're using, so I'll give you a link to both. Use the one that applies.

  • How to delete an album on Iphone 4s, which doesn't appear in Itunes?

    Hi
    can any help with this problem-
    I just recently bought an iphone 4s, I've 2 albums showing on my iphone under slightly different album names. But only one appears in itunes - how do I delete the second album if it doesn't appear in itunes?

    You don't have to reply back to my question thanks, i've eventually found the answer on the net - took some time  though. You simply swipe your finger on the album you want deleting and a delete option will come up, it's that simple.

  • IPod doesn't appear in iTunes

    My iPod Touch doesn't appear in ITunes, so of course I can't sync it.
    Now, my iPod nano syncs just fine with the same cable and USB connection, so the problem must be with the iPod touch. 
    When I plug it in, I get that little "chirp" and the battery indicator appears on the screen, but that's it.
    Any ideas what's going on?   What should I do?

    Try here. The iPod touch (and iPhone and iPad) use different drivers than the Nano.

  • My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer".   There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
    However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone --  you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video.  So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
    Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

    Thank you

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

    From the box the iphone came in:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
    You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.
